Parson Named Head Harrier

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

GOSHEN — Bethany physical education instructor Krysten Parson has been named the head boys and girls cross country coach for the 2010 season, Bleeding Bruin Blue has confirmed. This will be the third sport Parson has coached at Bethany, as she serves in that capacity with the girls basketball team and led the softball program for seven years from 2003 to 2009.
As cross country coach, Parson replaces Benji Hurst, who was named coach on January 7 before being named athletic director for the 2010-11 year nine weeks later; he has since opted to resign the former position. Ken Willems preceded Hurst as cross country coach, serving a four-year tenure from 2006 to 2009 that included two individual appearances in the state meet by Ali Hochstetler in the middle two years and a regional berth for the girls team in 2008.
Hurst spent the 2009 season coaching the middle school cross country teams; high school English instructor Michael Yeakey is expected to assume that role, becoming the fourth middle school coach in four years following Hurst, Daniel Gingerich and Tim Lehman.
